@@ -132,6 +132,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Models/chat commands: keep `/model ...@YYYYMMDD` version suffixes intact by default, but still honor matching stored numeric auth-profile overrides for the same provider. (#48896) Thanks @Alix-007.
 - Gateway/channels: serialize per-account channel startup so overlapping starts do not boot the same provider twice, preventing MS Teams `EADDRINUSE` crash loops during startup and restart. (#49583) Thanks @sudie-codes.
 - Tests/OpenAI Codex auth: align login expectations with the default `gpt-5.4` model so CI coverage stays consistent with the current OpenAI Codex default. (#44367) Thanks @jrrcdev.
+- Discord: enforce strict DM component allowlist auth (#49997) Thanks @joshavant.
